Think of what the jihadi tract writers will make of this.
The New Sack of Baghad by the Crusaders and the Mongols!
And you thought you'd seen anger and rage in the Arab world.

Baghdad NEVER really recovered from the last time it was visited by the Mongols.
Can't we just have them patrol Kirkuk instead???

Way back when..... The mongols conquered and occupied IRAQ.
"KHAN QUEST" is a very chilling reminder of our mission in Iraq!!

The Mongol Empire was the greatest in the World, far larger than Alexander's and lasting much longer. It stretched over all of north East Asia, Central Asia and under Tamer Lane and the Moghuls (corruption of Mongol) into the Middle East and India. The Mongols would have gone on to conquer Europe if Genghiz Khan's grandson hadn't died of alcohol poisoning in the Crimea.

When the Mongols laid seige to Baghdad they had the Caliph brought out and asked him to surrender the city and spare the inhabitants death and slavery.
He refused, so they tied him into a leather sack and ran an army of calvary over him. He was the last Caliph of Islam.

Great. Now they know how to neglect their weapons training and maintenance; become lost in a convoy in the desert; crash their vehicles; be killed or captured by poorly-trained and ill-equipped guerillas; and later cash in on book and movie deals....

Wild bunch. Last time the Mongols were in Baghdad they painted the town red.

Where are the horses in all this?
How can there be Mongols without horses?
And bows and arrows, lots and lots of arrows.
